The Democratic Party released a draft version of its proposed party platform late Friday afternoon. The platform won’t be finalized until the Platform Committee meets in a week, followed by a vote at the party’s convention in Philadelphia, but it’s a good guidepost for what will make it into the final version. The proposal includes a host of liberal policy ideas, including raising the minimum wage to $15 nationwide; opposing an increase in the retirement age and cuts to Social Security; taxing top earners more to pay into the Social Security trust fund; securing equal pay for women and 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave for all workers; and abolishing the death penalty.

Whether the inclusion of a host of progressive policy throughout the document will be enough to appease Sen. Bernie Sanders remains to be seen.

The Supreme Court Just Shot Down a Big Challenge to Affirmative Action. Read the Decision Here.

The Supreme Court delivered a major victory for affirmative action on Thursday, rejecting a challenge to a University of Texas admissions system that uses race as a factor to ensure diversity for a portion of its student body. The case, Fisher v. University of Texas, concerns the school’s use of a “holistic” system for 25 percent of its class—the rest of the class as admitted purely on the basis of high school grades—that includes race among other factors. A white applicant who was rejected by the school challenged the system.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court sided with the university in a 4-3 decision. Read the full ruling here:

Cheaper ethanol contributes to steady drop in gasoline prices

From the New Jersey Star Ledger:

Fill’er up.

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in New Jersey is now $3.31, about 6 cents below last week’s price and 41 cents less than this time a year ago.

Cheaper ethanol — retail gasoline contains 10 percent ethanol — is contributing to the drop, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com.
